VIC AAllbA al ldl
of hard working and healthy Americans.
Born OH a farm and receiving only a COM
mon school education, he early acquired q
wide knowledge of Maine men and affairs,
and developed great acuteness in business.
He began as a merchant in his native town
and advanced rapidly in the acquisition of
property till he owned stock in several rail
roads and manufacturing concerns, and was
still active in business till q short time before
his death.
He began his political life as a Democrat of
the Jackson-Benton school, a believer in hard
money, revenue tariff and Capitalization
He lived to become an ardent Republican,
and the history of his change is like that of
many thousand others-an epitome of the
wonderful social and political revolutions
from 1850 to 1870. After serving one term as
sheriff and two in the legislature as a Demo
crat, he took radical ground for prohibition,
and in 1858 ran for governor on that ticket,
receiving but 11,027 votes. The next year he
ran again, receiving 1855 votes, and as there
was no choice at the polls the legislature chose
him for governor, and he served one year.
In 1855 he was again a candidate, receiving
51,441 votes; but a combination in the legis-
lature chose Samuel Wells. In 1856 he took
a very prominent part in organizing the Re-
publican party, which was victorious at
every election thereafter till 1873. Gov
ernor Morrill, threw himself into the anti
slavery fight with enthusiasm, and in 1860 was
elected to congress, in which he served but
one term, but that was in the memorable war
congress of 1S61-63, and he took a very active
part m devising the fiscal policy of the gov
eminent. He was among the flrmest de
tenders of the g~reenback act of Feb. 25, 1862,
and made a special tour and campaign in
Maine to secure popular support for the new
currency. He declined a reelection, how
ever, and thereafter devoted himself to his
private business, except that in 1881 he was
chosen from Augusta to the legislature, in
which, though rs years old, he served with
the fire and energy of youth. For many
years he had been a resident of Augusta, and
maintained his activity till his final illness.
On June % he was stricken with paralysis
and only partially recovered strength, though
his mind remained clear till near death. He
leaves two daughters, Mrs. G. W. Goddard
and Mrs. r. M. Mills, and several grandchil-
dren. His illustrious brother, Hon. Lot NJ.
Morrill,, died some years ago, and both were
men of great integrity and endurance, physi-
cal and mental.

H LIGHT OF LOVE.

Fair is the flush Of the summer dawn,
When the gate OF pearl uncloses,
As it glimmers along the dewy lawn
And shimmers amid the roses;
As 1t wakes the little drops of dew
To quiverings OF delight,
And threads the aisles of the forest through
On the trail of the flying night.
Soft is the CLEAN of the summer stars
When the feverish day is over,
When the fays are afioat in silvery cars,
And the dusky moth is a rover,
When over the couch of the dreaming flowers
The mists of the fountain creep,
And the languid ears of the drowsy hours
Are wooed by song of the deep.
But the dazzling hues of the morning fall.
And dull are its golden lances,
And all the light OF the stars grow pale
In my darling's tender glances;
for the stars may burn with a thousand dyes.
And a myriad sunbeams fall.
But the light Of love in n womnn's ewes
Is the purest light of all.

A HALF A SONG.
A wonder came out Of the air from affair;
1t was song, IL was beauty and strength and

A wonder came out OF the air from afar;
1t was song, 1t was beauty and strength and
delight,
And 1t scared to N strain that was rayed like a
star,
Rcviviug old faiths in the triumph of right
over wrong and the triumph of life over death;
And it sank into the quavers OF tenderness, too,
As IL the sweet singer scarce trusted the breath
Ola love just awakened by one who might WOO
Her to give even life for himself, and would go
whercsoe'er he might lead, though he led to the
rack,
Or in silence heroic could nobly bcstow
All the wealth Of her heart and receive nothing
back.
Is a spirit concealed in the song from Atari
Is some mighty magician at work, that we hear
In lis pure undulations the tones that unbar
The gates Of the SOUL That the thrill in the err
Sends a thrill to the heart Of such various scope,
Though the words are all swallowed by spaces
Of airg
That meanings profound as the deepest we grope
For in languages letter seem symbolized theref

A north side physician states that ice water
does not quench thirst, but increases it. "I
remember a little story" said he, (which 1
think might do much good If published dur
ing this hot weather, that l heard from an
old sailor. He said that he and six ship
wrecked companions lived four days on three
pints Of water, and were not a bit thirsty.
When asked him to explain he said that in
stead OF gulping the water down they each
took a teaspoonful and gurgled it well in their
mouths. If any one will try the experiment,
NO matter how thirsty he is, by thoroughly
rinsing his mouth with not over a tablespoon
full of water, he will find it will queuch his
thirst as effectually as a qu<rt of water has
tily swallowed, and will not hurt him any.
l believe that fully one-third Of the deaths
during the heated season are, if the truth
were known, directly or indirectly due to
heavy drinking of ice r."-Pittsburg

On Tuesday he holds his military durbar and

private reception, or Diwani-Hass. On
Wednesday and Saturday he administers
Justice, and admits the public to his pres

the Diwan-i-Am. Friday is treated as Sun
day is in London-all the bazaars, shops and
the palace itself are closed, the mosques alone
remaining open. Sunday is devoted to the
ameer's private affairs.
The two most important days are those of
the Diwan-i-Am, for the ameer is above all n
dispenser of justice. He dispenses it with his
hand on the hilt of his sword. Highway rob
bers are brought before him and he hears tho
